Ngl its acually wild how this isn´t a popular topic. I watched so many videos from "mixing engineers" on this topic just so they talk about putting clippers and limiters on the master and using saturation. Finally someone that understands whats up, amazing video. Btw i also found that: 1) Sidechaining your low-end to your melody and using soothe 2 with the sidechaining function works kind of nice, because it removes the overlapping frequencies that are basically playing twice in the song, so they take twice the space they should. (Classic sidechaining compression will work too) 2) Also just using punchy impactful sounds will help, because sound selection is also a big part of this. 3) Filtering low end from every single sound that doesn´t need low end will help, because it will create more space for the low end that actually matters. 4) You can even go as far as filtering/lowering some extreme low end frequencies from your kicks and bass, especially those sub frequencies that your ear can´t hear 5) Boosting your high mids and highs can increase clarity, which will make it kinda sound louder 6) When making melodies, every "instrument" should have its place in the mix. If you make a melody with a guitar and pad playing in the same frequency range all the time, these will just overlap and take up more space, so don´t overproduce your melodies and ask yourself if you actually need to add this instrument before adding it. This also applies to drums but thats kind of intuitive. 7) When you make beats with a lot of empty space and pockets, they will 100% be louder. If your bassline is just one sinewave playing literally the whole time, it will get penalized WAY more, than if you use short stab bass for example One thing that i started doing and actually helped me so much was this: 1) Before making a beat, download a song thats on youtube and is really loud and in the same genre as music you make 2) Put this downloaded file into the Loudness Penalizer 3) Go to your daw and lower the downloaded song down the amount of dB that the Loudness Penalizer gives you and export it. Now thats your reference track 4) Now before even making any beat, LOWER YOUR VOLUME AND MIX AT LOW VOLUME, trust me. 5) When making the beat, switch regularly between your mix and the reference track so you know if f.e. your hats are too quiet
Man thank you for uploading this! definitely helps and learned something as I have heard of this issue for a while but it was for other categories. your the first I found that caters and explains towards mainly producers and instrumentals 💯
Yea for sure, glad it helps. It was driving me crazy lol. It's def a complicated subject and there's no simple solution but at least there are some tools out there to help us
ive been noticing this for a while and especially the type of beats i do yt is straight up SMASHING the sound and it sounds like hot garbage. I do NOT want to lower my 808s😭
Appreciate you, glad it helps a bit. I'm prob not the best person to show mixing tips lol. But In the Mix is my fav channel on YT and he gives excellent/professional advice
this is so frustrating... on my mpc the beats sound phat and crispy, but when i upload them to youtube the whole mix is destroyed and some elements get buried
Yea I know how you feel. It's still unclear how UA-cam changes the mix. Do they adjust specific frequencies in the mix, lower everything by a percentage, etc? How the vid helped at least explain what's going on and why
Pls,do my music gonna sound as loud as it is after i copy the music video and download the mp3,example when i download spotify music its became the normal song and is really loud and nice
If you download a song and play it on your computer with Windows Media Player or iTunes, then yes it should sound louder. These media players don't lower your volume like UA-cam/Spotify do. This is because Windows Media/iTunes is personal to you. It's not a platform for millions of other listeners like UA-cam/Spotify. Hope that makes sense.
@@DreenoBeatz thank you,im too lazy to download my own music to test it.knowing these i feel so relieved that i can download my music for backup,once again thanks!❤️
UA-cam says they normalize audio to 14 lufs. If your audio is louder, they'll turn it down. If it's quieter, they'll turn it up. I master my beats to 12 LUFS and there's minimal change. You can see the lufs or your audio with a plugin like youlean loudness meter or span.
I don’t think YT will raise your volume if it’s below 14, I thought they leave it where it is. The only time they’ll adjust your volume if it’s above 14?
It should still be available. Are you using Google Chrome as your web browser? Sometimes ad blockers can cause issues too, but Stats for Nerds is still working on YT for me!
I feel you on that, happens to me a lot too. It's possible it's just a mixing issue like the 808 is too loud. Usually if lower end frequencies (from Bass/808's) are too high it can squash the high-end frequencies, in this case your hi hats. But if your hi hats sound great in FL Studio, then they shouldn't sound bad on YT. If they do, it's likely because the 808 is too loud and YT lowered the overall volume of everything once you uploaded.
Id agree with you, if the 808 is more dominant than all other sounds then it'll trigger the loudness normalization to lower the overall volume. So leveling everything well beforehand is key
@@DreenoBeatz ive been fucking around w some mixes recently and im pretty sure thats what it is (not the 6db rule thing). do u know any plugins that let u see the hottest part of a track, and better visualize the overall eq of the track (aside from fruity parametric eq 2)?
Sadly no, I haven’t. I’m planning to mess around with Maximus (default plugin) since it lets you separate low, mid, and high end sounds to help with leveling. But it prob won’t show you which one is the hottest. Either way, it’s likely the 808 that’s messing everything up

Great advice, thanks for sharing so we can all learn. Appreciate it bro!
I stopped uploading beats for this reason thank you I have so much in the vault to upload 🙏
Glad I could sort of help! Please let us know if you learn anything else that'd help the quality of beats on YT!
this really helps a lot it just helped me, If anyone is watching EQ the bass below that 6 line def makes a difference
Great Video 🔥🔥
Appreciate it, hope it helps

been struggling with this, gonna try it out great video man
Appreciate you bro, and sure thing. It's def frustrating but hopefully this helps
first time ive seen a use for stats for nerds
haha same, never used it before. No idea what the other stats mean lol
Thank you so much for helping us man💯💯💯
ive been noticing this for a while and especially the type of beats i do yt is straight up SMASHING the sound and it sounds like hot garbage. I do NOT want to lower my 808s😭
Thank you so much for this.
finally I got the ans, the more low end exists the more yt normilaziation works, thanks for the video 🐧
Absolutely gems thank you, need a mixing tutoring please
Appreciate you, glad it helps a bit. I'm prob not the best person to show mixing tips lol. But In the Mix is my fav channel on YT and he gives excellent/professional advice
Watching this vid in my car and that Wayne beat slaps and I’m glad someone understood the assignment
thank you bro very helpful 🙏

So helpful 🙏
sadly it is the 808 but counterintuitively if u lower the 808 i'm pretty sure it'll appear louder in the mix
UA-cam says they normalize audio to 14 lufs. If your audio is louder, they'll turn it down. If it's quieter, they'll turn it up. I master my beats to 12 LUFS and there's minimal change. You can see the lufs or your audio with a plugin like youlean loudness meter or span.
-12 or wym?
@@trxgon yes

stats for nerds are no longer available on youtube?

Bro made a video on a real topic 🫂 thank you so much buddy !! Love from India ❤️ +1 sub
Thanks for the sub, glad it helped!
helpful ASF
But bro it even sounds lower High ends not just the gain why?
And what about my high hats sounding muggy that’s what I’m here for because everything else sounds good but those hats

I can’t find it on your channel
What you looking for?
Can you do yeat and Septembersrich - all different
does anyone know why mixing ur 808s under 6db prevents ur audio from being lowered
i feel like its relative to ur other peaks
